Echo School

• Echo School District, OR
• PK, K-12
• 9

Senior: I'm a senior at Echo High school and I am a student athlete and my overall experience is great. We have some many activities such as sports and other extra curricular activities such as FFA, National Honors Society, knowledge bowl, key club, Ace car club, Fishing club, Trap shooting. Our school takes pride in being a small school because most students are involved in multiple activities which make for a more well rounded student.Having the community so involved with our school is great it gives the students a chance to give back to the community in return for what they do for us. The teachers at Echo are great they really focus on holding kids accountable for their mistakes but using it as a learning opportunity so they can learn from their mistakes. There is a lot of one on one with our teachers it makes it so much easy to talk to a teacher if you have a question and not feel embarrassed for asking for help.

Pilot Rock High School

• Pilot Rock School District, OR
• 7-12
• 6

Senior: Usually people talk about how much they hate high school because of the bullies and rude people, but that doesn't happen here at Pilot Rock High. There's no real "cliques" and everyone knows everyone and we look out for each other. I'd like to see PRHS have more school spirit, especially with boys sports since they tend to struggle. I love how involved the community is in the girls basketball and softball programs, though. Another thing I'd like to see is to have more clubs and activities for students who don't play sports or participate in band. Overall, I have loved every second of my high school experience here and it's crazy to think this is my last year!

Senior: At Stanfield Secondary school the teachers really care about your success. It is a small school so relationships with teachers and peers are strong. At the school I have had many opportunities for growth. I have been able to be a part of sports teams, extracurricular activities and even get to graduate with an associates degree. I feel that I have had constant support from all angles and highly recommend this school. Plus it even features four day school weeks!

Hermiston High School

• Hermiston School District, OR
• 9-12
• 162

Senior: At Hermiston, I have had a lot of good times. From doing activities in class like dissections and blowing things up, to all the great sports times like winning the state title for football and beating our rivals in Pendleton every year, there are more memories than I can count. However, with these good times also come the bad. There were a few teachers that I got stuck with that I absolutely HATED! I won’t give names, but these teachers managed to make my time at school feel like years slowly ticking by. As far as the overall experience goes, there isn’t much I would change besides a few little details here and there, a few things I have said, and a class or two.

Senior: Nixyaawii Community School is a great school full of learning opportunities. I am currently a senior and I am also enrolled in two college course. I do not think I would have the same experiences going to a different school. Nixyaawii is primary a Native American school so I have learned all about the Native cultural. I love the fact that they have treated me as one of their own.
